Itune store has taken to reloading a TV series I purchased some while ago. I already have a copy. How do i make it stop?

How can I stop the iTunes store for downloading duplicates of a TV sereis I brought some while ago?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • All of my music that wasn't purchased from the itunes store has been faded out on my ipod, despite me being able to play them in itunes. half my songs have exclamation points but only in the 'on this ipod' section, and when i double-click no window appear

    I'm freaking out because almost all my music except for those songs purchased directly from the iTunes store has been deleted from my iPod - about 35 gigs. The songs show up, but they're all faded out and unplayable from my device (I have the newest version). Exclamation points appear beside all my songs in the "On this iPod" section, and yet I can't double-click to locate the files as nothing pops up. Some of my music has a weird circle next to it and is even more faded out when I'm in the "On this iPod" section - that's been happening for a couple of days. Yesterday I tried to set my settings to sync with my library only, and it worked, but this morning everything got even worse with the rest of my songs disappearing. What's happening???? Help??

    The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

  • Itunes store has stopped working On windows 8

    with the most recent update of iTunes (2015, 12.1.1.4- or even later) The iTunes store has stopped working. Every time I open it a window pops up saying "ITunes has stopped working" and then I am forced to close the program and can't get back on it. I own a PC with windows 8. Previously I've never had this issue before. Even when I open ITunes in SAFE MODE the same window still pops up with "ITunes has stopped working'. What is happening and how can I fix this issue?

    Greetings Willyme,
    As someone who uses iTunes just about every day, I know I would be unhappy with things if I could not get it to launch. Let's see if we can get you back up and running. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • My feeds are updating but the iTunes store has not updated

    I put my rss feed up on feedburner and all my feeds have updated but the iTunes store has not updated. I was wondering if there a simple explanation for it. Subscribers to the podcast have gotten the most recent update but the store hasn't reflected the new changes.

    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
    All this assumes that you haven't made an error of some sort in adding your episode: it's not possible to comment on that unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'.  Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

  • Since i updated my itunes to 10.5, my itunes store has been blank

    Since i updated my itunes to 10.5, my itunes store has been blank. I cant purchase anythg from my itunes and my connection and security setting seem fine. Any ideas?

    This tutorial for downgrading says you have to do this when that notice appears after you've downgraded:
    iTunes 10.5 upgrades the iTunes library file and won’t let you downgrade, so you will need the prior version library file. Here’s how to go about that
    5) You will need to rename iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.bak
    6) Go into the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder where you will find several files with dates in their names. The most recent one will have the .itl extension, but the others don’t. Copy that to the parent folder ~/Music/iTunes/ and rename it iTunes Library.itl
    7) Congrats. You’re done.

    Can you try this and let me know if it works? *please God please GOD*

  • ITunes store has not deleted old rental films

    My husband has been trying to download a couple of movie rentals from the iTunes store onto our iPad. He keeps getting  download errors saying that we don't have enough storage space, despite dumping almost everything we've got on it. We have NO movies or TV shows on it, and yet iTunes is showing 6Gb worth of video in the status bar. I investigated with iExplorer and can see two movies that we rented from the iTunes store and watched weeks and weeks ago. They are no longer accessible through the iPad and without iExplorer I would not have even known they were there.
    I know I can re-set to factory settings, but if I do I will lose two rented movies that I don't have room to download. Any ideas how I can delete the old films to make room for new ones? Many thanks.

    reset to factory settings and then sign in with ur apple id. u will be able to watch the currently rented movies.

  • Lately itunes has been splitting up any new cds that my daughter and I import.  We want them to stay whole.  Why is it doing this and how do we make it stop?

    itunes has been splitting up most new cds that my daughter and I import.  We want the albums to stay whole not split into 2 or 3 different sections.  This is a relatively new problem.  Didn't always have this problem.  How do we make it stop?

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • Apple tv 2 says "iTunes store is currently unavailable. Try again later." on some rentals in iCloud.

    Apple tv 2 says "iTunes store is currently unavailable. Try again later." on some rentals in iCloud. Anyone else seeing this?

    I can access youtube and movie trailers. My location setting is set as United States - I don't know if there is another "store region" setting. I signed in & out & in again using my apple ID & password - all that works fine.

  • Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out.  Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more.  When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one.  When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized".  It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
    Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID.  I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
    Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

  • ITunes Store and music keep freezing and closing on me. How can I make this stop?

    So I downloaded the 3 versions of Chipstep by Boyinaband, and it's been processing for 5+ hours! Not to mention whenever I go into my music, it stays on my playlists screen and then closes. Same with iTunes, except iTunes actually allows me to do stuff, but only for about 20 seconds. I really need to know how to get this to stop. Someone please help me!

    To stop crashing try Holding the power button then after the slide to turn off pops up hold the home button

  • My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

    My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

    I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

  • My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it?

    My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it? My iPad has been like this for a couple of months, and it has really irritated me. My friend came over and he had to download iTunes for something on the computer. He needed my iPad, he tried it and it wasn't really near the router.

    I'd begin by reviewing the following:
